1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We identified the non-phosphorylated L-rhamnose metabolic pathway (Rha_NMP) genes that are homologous to those in the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum in the genome of the thermoacidophilic bacterium Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans. However, unlike previously known 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-rhamnonate (L-KDR) dehydrogenase (KDRDH) which belongs to the short chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily, the putative KDRDHs in S. thermosulfidooxidans (Sulth_3557) and T. acidophilum (Ta0749) belong to the medium chain dehydrogenase/reductase (MDR) superfamily. We demonstrated that Sulth_3559 and Sulth_3557 proteins from S. thermosulfidooxidans function as L-rhamnose dehydrogenase and KDRDH, respectively. Sulth_3557 protein is an NAD(+)-specific KDRDH with optimal temperature and pH of 50 °C and 9.5, respectively. The K m and V max values for L-KDR were 2.0 mM and 12.8 U/mg, respectively. Sulth_3557 also showed weak 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase activity. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that Sulth_3557 and its homologs form a new subfamily in the MDR superfamily. The results shown in this study imply that thermoacidophilic archaea metabolize L-rhamnose to pyruvate and L-lactate by using the MDR-family KDRDH similarly to that of the thermoacidophilic bacterium S. thermosulfidooxidans.
